What did you do? Did you camp on the site waiting? I really had a good time but my headset caused a delay and I seemed slow to answer? I bought a web-cam yesterday so next time he can see me! Thanks for the "way to go" joshua!

Tomorrow is the big day and we are having 3 inches of "Light Flurries?" We don't have a problem with cold, we don't have problems with snow. We only have problems with wind. Tomorrows forecast is now for "Windy conditions"!!! With the fluffy snow we are currently getting it is going to be very interesting! The temperature will be OK, 15 ºF or -9.4ºC We can live with that. The burners will use a lot of propane trying to heat water in the wind, if they can remain lit?

The podcast was fun. We recorded for 10 minutes and talked about beer for the next hour and a half! I think we should have taped the whole discussion it might have been more interesting?

Yeasty. Brew a British Bitter and name it "Fish Pee" You must have a friend that has an aquarium that you can get your water from? I will have a beer in honor of BIAB'ers everywhere!

Thanks for all the support and kind words. 2trout, If I say it? Quote it! Mad_Scientist, Yes I am working on it. Did some filming last fall to edit during the winter. Not BIAB quality so I will start again! That's not a problem because I am always brewing. The problem is that I am always drinking! Filming and drinking don't mix. I will film (record, no film anymore) today at the Polar brew. The day is here and it is -2 ºF,-18.88 ºC outside and I am quite warm now. I don't want to go outside and drink beer! Oh well, someone's got to do it?

I will try and post the movie today but the wife is coming back from Florida tonight and she warrants attention? That means I have to clean up the house!

All,
I spent over 6 hours on a frozen lake with -20 ºF, -28.88 ºC. wind chill! That's enough for me! My beer froze in the cup and the bottle! My hands could not move for all the pain. I was in agony! I can't wait for next year! The beer I drank was good! The beer I brewed may not be. No one could get a decient boil going. Too windy and to cold. The beer froze in my cup and the 1.5 liter bottle I keep my home brew in froze. I had Ice beer? very "rich"? The people count was down because of the temperatures. I guess even the most hardy were smarter than me. When I took the grain out of the kettle and put it in a bucket it froze there. It is still in the garage waiting for Spring?

I have the movies transferred to the computer but mom is home from vacation and I have to see to her first! Cheers all! Keep warm!

Hey Bob, no ice fishing? The only thing better than brewing and drinking beer is brewing and drinking beer while fishing! You're already out there, might as well drop a line in or at least put out a few tip-ups. If they're biting you could be frying up some perch or pike fillets while your waiting for the mash to finish.

PS: I gave up ice fishing years ago because I couldn't figure out how to keep my beer from freezing before I could drink it.

Don't be silly guys. It is way too hot in the desert to just wear thongs and budgie smugglers. Here's some pics of me and my lovely wife on our last desert brew day (Nullabor Desert) showing appropriate desert attire...
